Precarity in Film: The Vulnerable Gaze & Trembling Landscapes
“Precarity in Film: Experimental Ecologies” features experimental, alternative, independent, and underground films from Latin America, the Caribbean, and Spain that engage with ecological, racial, and material precarity. The works selected depict and distort, exhibit and expose the extreme conditions facing communities and landscapes of their home territories, as well as the precarious quality of the production and preservation of experimental film.
Filmmakers and artists (some in person): Valentina Alvarado (Spain/Venezuela), Gabrielle Civil (United States), Patricia Ferreira Pará Yxapy (Paraguay/Brazil), Sofía Gallisá Muriente (Puerto Rico), Narcisa Hirsch (Argentina), Claudia Joskowicz (Bolivia/United States), Azucena Losana (Mexico), Rocío Mesa (Spain/United States), Everlane Moraes (Brazil), Tomas Rautenstrauch (Argentina), Adriana Rondón Rivero (Venezuela/United States) and Malena Szlam (Chile/Canada).
This event is curated by Noraedén Mora Méndez, doctoral candidate in Comparative Studies in Literature and Culture, and Erin Graff Zivin, professor of Spanish and Portuguese and Comparative Literature, in collaboration with Los Angeles Filmforum.

This is an all ages event
2220 Beverly Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90057
2220 Arts + Archives is dedicated to non-commercial, adventurous and experimental arts. It is volunteer-run and most of our events are curated and hosted by our resident programmers. If you want to make sense of it, come and see.
2220 is not only our name, it’s our address. We are located at 2220 Beverly Blvd in Historic Filipinotown, adjacent to Echo Park and Downtown LA. We are across the street from Brooklyn Bagel Bakery, and lease the Praise Christian Fellowship church parking lot, accessible off Roselake Ave. Visitors can park there, and there is generally significant street parking on Beverly, largely unrestricted in the evenings.
We’ve chosen an intentionally modest place-based name (2220 Beverly Blvd is our street address), because our venue is the container, not the contents. Instead we want to foreground the artists, series and programmers that inhabit the space.
While we’re conscious of our place in the community, we are not hyperlocal. We see Los Angeles as a world city, and want to give safe harbor to international artists as well as Angelenos and Californians. We want to reflect the illimitable diversity of our city, and give voice and stage to younger artists, while honoring elder innovators, wild thinkers and radical communities of practice. We particularly celebrate the autodidacts and ‘ordinary intellectuals’ who have long given this city its vibrancy, strangeness, dissensus and intensity. We’re open to all genres, but are particularly interested in artists testing the limits of their categories.
We’re always looking out for fellow travelers, and hope to grow and diversify our community over time. We beg your patience as we do so! We’ll inevitably pause to pilot, experiment, evolve and change, and won’t be an always-on entertainment factory any time soon. We’ll make accommodations for slowness, second-guessing, exploration, community feedback, difficulty. If it all works out, we may never be the same.
